CLEARWATER, Fla., March 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On Wednesday, March 20, the Church of Scientology Flag Service Organization will hold the bi-monthly Tampa Bay Charity Coalition Luncheon, a networking event for nonprofit organizations and charities, inside the Crystal Ballroom of the historic Fort Harrison. The Charity Coalition, now in its fifth year, seeks to develop a united force of nonprofits through networking; bringing nonprofit leaders to one location where they can collaborate and share resources. The luncheon begins at 11:30AM and there is no cost to attend.
Approximately 50 nonprofits from the Tampa Bay Area are expected, covering a wide range of charitable endeavors – from helping at-risk youth to environmental organizations to helping victims of human trafficking. Organizations such as the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Police Athletic League, the Butterfly Effect of Golf, My Hope Chest and the PACE Center for Girls will be in attendance.
“The Charity Coalition’s mission is based on the words of Scientology Founder, L. Ron Hubbard, ‘A community that pulls together can make a better society for all,’” said Dylan Pires, Community Affairs Director for the Church of Scientology Flag Service Organization. “The Coalition seeks to improve our community through the combined efforts of all area nonprofits. After all, our community is where each of us lives and it will only be as good or as bad as we make it.”
This time, a live panel of veteran nonprofit leaders will participate in an open Q & A, sharing their challenges and successful actions.
